Mackie M-Caster Live Portable Live Streaming Mixer
Your phone's built-in mic has been getting away with murder — and your audience has noticed. The Mackie M-Caster Live is the compact, plug-and-play streaming mixer that finally gives mobile content creators the audio quality they deserve. Hook up your mic, dial in your sound with ContourFX and StreamFX, and go live in minutes. Studio-grade audio, no studio required, no audio engineering degree necessary.
Sound So Good, You'll Go Pro
The M-Caster Live gives your voice a full personality makeover. ContourFX presets let you sculpt your sound from warm and punchy to broadcast-ready with a single knob. And if sounding like a pro isn't enough, StreamFX throws in real-time voice-changing effects for when you want to keep things interesting — or just mess with your viewers.
ContourFX Presets: Choose from a range of studio-quality vocal profiles — from deep and thunderous to bright and airy — and lock in your signature sound without touching a single EQ slider.
StreamFX Voice Effects: Add fun, real-time voice-changing effects mid-stream for character moments, hype-building, or purely chaotic entertainment.
Accusonus Plugins Included: Get a lifetime license for ERA Voice Leveler and ERA De-Esser plugins, plus a 3-month subscription to the Accusonus All Access Suite for serious post-production polish.
Plug, Play, and Stream Anywhere (And We Mean Anywhere)
Livestreaming gear has a bad habit of being either too complicated or too limited. The M-Caster Live sidesteps both problems by playing incredibly well with others. Connect to your phone, DSLR, PC, or Mac, and run the whole show off an external battery. It's the kind of flexibility that makes your setup work for you, not the other way around.
Smartphone & DSLR Compatibility: Plug directly into your phone’s headphone jack for seamless mobile streaming, or route clean, processed audio straight into your DSLR camera without a complicated signal chain.
Phone Input with Auto Mix Minus: Bring live callers into your stream effortlessly. The automatic Mix Minus ensures your caller only hears you — not a disorienting, brain-melting echo of their own voice.
USB and Battery Power: Use it as a full audio interface on Mac/PC or plug in a standard USB battery pack to stream from a park, a convention floor, or the back of a rideshare (we won't judge).
RGB Lights: Zero Acoustic Purpose, 100% Non-Negotiable
Look, the RGB lighting doesn't make your stream sound better. But it does make your setup look dramatically cooler on camera. And in the streaming world, aesthetics are basically a second income stream. Plus, it's so compact you can toss it in a bag.
7-Color RGB LED Strip: Select your color to match your brand, your mood, your outfit, or the ambient chaos of your streaming den.
Ultra-Compact Footprint: Small enough to sit cleanly on a desk without claiming valuable real estate, and light enough to pack up in seconds.
Camera-Ready Design: The M-Caster's sleek, compact build looks intentional and polished on-screen — a far cry from the tangled, dusty nest of gear most setups feature in the background.
The Portable Audio Heavyweight
The Mackie M-Caster Live is the rare piece of gear that delivers on its promises without demanding anything complicated in return. It brings professional-grade audio processing, smart connectivity, and a genuinely fun feature set into a package small enough to stream from a backpack. For content creators who are serious about sound but not interested in becoming audio engineers, this is the streaming mixer worth having in the setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, the M-Caster Live connects directly to your smartphone via the headphone jack, supporting both audio send and receive for live streaming. It works with iOS and Android devices that have a standard 3.5mm headphone port, and you can use an adapter for newer phones without one.
Absolutely. Via USB, the M-Caster Live functions as a full audio interface on both Mac and PC, making it a solid option for podcast recording in addition to live streaming. The included Accusonus plugins add professional-level voice processing to your recordings as well.
The M-Caster Live accepts a wide range of microphones, including dynamic and condenser mics via its dedicated mic input. It's designed for plug-and-play compatibility, so most standard streaming and podcasting microphones will work without additional equipment.
Yes, the M-Caster Live runs off USB power, which means you can plug in an external USB battery pack for completely portable, cable-free streaming. This makes it one of the most genuinely mobile streaming mixers available at its price point.
It's practically built for beginners. ContourFX presets handle the heavy lifting of sound shaping with a single knob, and the plug-and-play design means you don't need to understand signal routing or EQ to sound good. If you can plug in a USB cable, you're most of the way there.
